All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

I have visited Hawaii with my family about 30 times, but this was the first time my husband and I participated in this cruise. It was so wonderful that we joined again this time and experienced the best sunset.

３０回ほど家族でハワイを訪れていますが、このクルーズには前回夫と初めて参加しました。あまりのすばらしさに今回も参加し、最高のサンセットが経験できました。

Last year, when I came, I couldn't find the time to go, but this time I made it a point to go.

First, we took the cruise to the submarine. This was the issue. My wife, our 4-year-old child, and I participated, but my wife is prone to seasickness. However, we were told it wouldn't be bumpy, so we decided to join.

Once on the boat, feeling a bit too confident, we moved to the deck. It seems that going to the deck made her seasickness worse, and by the time we arrived at the submarine, my wife was down. She returned to the hotel instead of boarding the submarine.

So it was just my child and me in the submarine. Both of us were super excited. We even saw turtles, and time flew by. By the way, I think the submarine was hardly bumpy at all.

I recommend that anyone who is concerned about seasickness should avoid going to the deck.

Personally, I would love to go again. I hear that the one in Hawaii Island allows you to see whales, so I'm curious about that too.

去年、来たときには時間が取れず、乗れなくて、満を持して、乗って来ました。
先ずは潜水艦までのクルーズ。ここが問題でした。妻とこども（4才）の3人での参加で、妻は船酔い持ちですが、揺れないとのことで、参加してみました。
船に乗って、調子にのって、デッキに移動。デッキに行ったことで、船酔いがましたらしく、潜水艦に到着したときには妻はダウン。妻は潜水艦に乗らずに、ホテルにリターンしました。

潜水艦はこどもと、２人。こどもも、僕も大興奮。亀も見れ、時間があっという間に過ぎました。因みに、潜水艦は殆ど、揺れなかったと思います。

船酔いが気になる人はデッキに行かない事をお勧めします。

個人的にはまた、乗りたいです。ハワイ島のは鯨見れるみたいなので、そっちも気になります。

I stayed at the Waikiki Park Hotel, and right in front of the ABC Store, there was a tourist information center with a foreigner. They offered the Atlantis submarine tour for just $40 per person. I had heard that local bookings were cheaper, but I didn't expect it to be this low. The water quality was quite murky, and our next tour was canceled.

My son was happy to be on the boat, and the staff were all very cheerful and wonderful people, but despite that, I still had some dissatisfaction with the tour. If you have a basic level of English or have a translation app or English conversation book on your smartphone, I strongly recommend making a local reservation.

By the way, the souvenir photos that are common at theme parks cost $50. At Dole Plantation, the train photos were $25, so I bought them there.

Wow, I learned a lot. You really can't know until you go and see for yourself.

ワイキキパークホテルに泊まっていましたがすぐそばのABCStore前に外国人が1人いる観光案内所があり、そこではなんと1人40＄でアトランティス潜水艦ツアーが…現地予約は安いと聞いていましたがまさかここまでとは。水質も濁りが酷く、私達の次の便は中止になっていました。
息子は船に乗れて喜んでいましたしスタッフは皆さんとても陽気で明るく素敵な人達でしたが色々差し引いても不満が残るツアーでした。
少し英語ができるレベル、またはスマホで翻訳や英会話本をお持ちなら現地予約を強くオススメします。
因みに、テーマパークによくある記念写真はなんと50＄です。
DolePLANTATIONの列車では25$でしたのでそちらで写真は購入しました。
いやー勉強になりました。
やはり行ってみないとわからないものですね。

It was a very worthwhile pass that allowed us to go all the way to Diamond Head. The boarding area in the DFS basement was a bit hard to find, but we were able to get smooth assistance from the staff there.

ダイヤモンド・ヘッドの方まで周れてお得感の強いパスでした。DFS地下の乗り場が少し分かりにくかったのですが、その場にいた係の人に教えてもらえたのでスムーズに乗れました。

The captain was a very nice person, and I received various services that I can't write about here. The children also seemed very happy. It was a great experience.

キャプテンがとても良い人で、ここでは書けないようなサービスを色々受けることが出来ました。子供もとてもうれしそうでした。
とても良い体験ができました。

I used this service for my first trip to Hawaii. Although there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, both the shuttle staff and the onboard staff were friendly and welcomed us warmly. There was also a Japanese manual before boarding the boat, which made me feel at ease for the departure. During parasailing, they kept the atmosphere lively, and I was very satisfied and had a great time. However, the only disappointing thing was that the car finally arrived 15 minutes past the initial pickup time. Since I was anxious being in a foreign country, I think it would be reassuring if they could somehow improve that aspect, and I would feel comfortable using the service again.

初めてのハワイ旅行で利用させていただきました。
日本語を話せるスタッフさんはいませんでしたが、送迎スタッフ、船上スタッフ共に愛想が良くてとても暖かく迎えてくれました。
ボートに乗る前に日本語のマニュアルもあったので安心して出発でき、
パラセーリング中も盛り上げてくれてとても大満足で楽しむことができたのですが、ただ一つだけ残念なのは、最初のピックアップ時間を15分過ぎてようやく車が来たことです。
外国で不安なのでそこだけどーにかしてくれると安心してまた利用できると思います

About 7 to 8 years ago, I participated in surfing lessons here. It was my first time, but I managed to ride the waves a few times and had so much fun that I decided to join again. This time, I successfully rode all the waves! Yay! The staff were incredibly helpful, and I realized once again that this school is the best. They give you a little push at the moment you catch the wave, which makes you feel like you've really "caught it!" After that, all you need to do is stand up calmly, and you're good to go! Riding the waves was a success. Of course, paddling is tough, but my sister, who joined me, is also a woman in her late 40s. If you have the motivation, you can definitely do it, so I highly encourage everyone to give it a try. Surfing in Hawaii is the best memory for a trip!

By the way, I also tried surfing on the Gold Coast, but I couldn't ride a single wave. I wonder if the waves in Hawaii are better or if the staff are just that good, as it felt surprisingly easy to stand up.

I was a bit worried after seeing some comments saying the service was "neglected," thinking, "Was it really great 7 to 8 years ago but has changed?" However, that was not the case at all. The staff were truly amazing, encouraging me with wonderful smiles and providing strong support. Even when I was paddling hard but not making progress or couldn't go in the direction I wanted, they offered solid support.

In the end, I wanted to take a photo with the staff who took care of me the most, but I missed the chance, which was disappointing. They were busy cleaning up, and I felt bad interrupting them. It's impressive that they clean up after the lesson too; they are truly powerful staff! If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate in the lessons. By then, I might be over 50... (laughs)

７～８年前にも、ここのサーフィンレッスンに参加しました。
その時初めてだったのですが、何度か波乗りに成功し楽しかったので、また参加しました。
今回は波乗り全部成功しましたよ。ヤッター！スタッフの方に大変助けてもらって、やはりここのスクールでなくっちゃと改めて思いました。波乗りの瞬間、ひと押し入れて下さるんですよ～。これで「乗った！」と実感できるので、あとは落ち着いて立てばＯＫ！波乗り成功です。もちろんパドルはしんどいですが、私も一緒に参加した妹も４０歳後半女性です。やる気があれば、がんばれますので是非是非皆さんも体験して下さい。「ハワイでサーフィン」なんて旅の思い出として最高です！
（ちなみにゴールドコーストでもサーフィンに挑戦しましたが１度も乗れませんでした。ハワイは波が良いのか、スタッフが良いのか不思議と簡単に立てます）

時々、書き込みで「放ったらかし」とあったので、「７～８年前は凄く良かったけど変わってしまったのかな？」と心配していましたが、全然そんなことなく、素敵な笑顔で励ましてくれたり、力強く助けて下さったり、本当に最高のスタッフでした。一生懸命パドルしてるけど力不足で進まない、行きたい方向に行けないなんて時にはしっかりサポートしてくれます。

最後に一番面倒を見てくれたスタッフと写真を撮りたかったのですが、取り損ねて残念。後片付けを一生懸命されてるので声をかけるのが申し訳なくて。あのレッスンの後に後片付けもなんて、本当にパワフルなスタッフです！
またハワイに行ったら、絶対レッスンに参加します。その時、私５０歳超えかもですが。。。（笑）

Beautiful scenery... Friendly, courteous guides... Great time.... Too short!

We went as a family of four. There were about six groups, including us, who boarded the boat and set off from the port to start parasailing in turn. It felt amazing and really got our spirits up! I highly recommend it! The instructions were only in English, but I managed to understand by watching the others. There isn't a designated place or time to change, so it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath when you go to the hotel. You can return even if you're wet.

家族4人で行きました。
行った先では私達含めて6組くらい
一度にボートに乗って港を出発して順番にパラセイリング開始します。めちゃくちゃ気持ちくてテンションあがります！オススメです♪
説明が英語のみでしたがなんとなく他の人たちのを見てたらわかりました。
着替える場所と時間が準備されている訳ではないのでホテルで中に着ていった方がいいです。濡れたままでも帰れます。

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon, and I booked this show again for my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. We were able to watch the show in an open outdoor setting in Waikiki, and it seemed like my husband enjoyed it. The show is wonderful, but just like last time, the buffet (food) isn't particularly delicious, so it's best not to have high expectations (though the meat was good). We might not go for a third time, but I think it's worth seeing once. Also, please note that buses do not stop at the bus stop in front of the Hilton right now!

新婚旅行でハワイを訪れ、初ハワイの旦那さんのため、以前参加したこちらのショーを申込みしました。
ワイキキで、そして屋外という開放的な場所でショーを見られ、旦那さんも楽しんでいたようです。
ショーは素敵なのですが、前回同様ブッフェ（食事）は美味しいというわけではありませんので、あまり期待はしない方がいいです。（お肉は美味しかったようです）。
3回目はないかもしれませんが、一度観るには良いと思います。
あと今はヒルトン前のバス停にバスが止まらないので要注意です！

This time I challenged myself to 150 meters!! The wind was weak on the ground, but there was quite a bit of wind at 150 meters up, and it was scary holding the camera while desperately gripping the safety belt (laughs). Also, I was surprisingly prone to motion sickness, so I recommend taking some anti-nausea medication before participating!

今回150mに挑戦しました！！
地上は風が弱かったのですが、150m上空はそれなりに風があってカメラ片手に乗っているのが怖いくらいで必死にベルトにつかまってました(笑)
あと意外に酔い易いので、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加がおススメです！

It was after a once-in-a-decade hurricane hit Hawaii, so I was worried about the strong winds and whether my 8-year-old could participate. However, the weather was great on the day of the event, and we were able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. My child was thrilled and said, "It was the best!" For $30, we got a lot of photos, which were given to us on an SD card right there. Since I can't take photos like that myself, it was a bit pricey, but I'm glad I asked for it.

１０年に１度のハリケーンがハワイにやってきた後だったので、風が強いかな～８歳の子ども、参加できるかな～と不安でしたが、当日は天気も良く、すばらしい景色を楽しむことができました。子どもも、「最高だった～！」と大喜びでした。３０ドルで写真をたくさん撮ってもらえて、その場でＳＤカードでもらえました。自分じゃ撮れないので、ちょっと高いけど、お願いして良かったです。

On our last day in Hawaii, my girlfriend and I dressed up and boarded a boat, but it felt like a children's summer camp from the movie The Addams Family, with an overly cheerful muscle crew interacting with families and elderly couples in a typically American, broad manner. The food was terrible, mostly fried items that would have been better left unserved. It might be fine for families with children under 13 or elderly couples, but I can't recommend it for couples. My girlfriend felt seasick and became moody, stopping talking altogether. Everyone seemed to be happily enjoying the sea turtles popping up, but I wondered if it was really that fun. This tour, which only goes a short distance from Waikiki Beach, reminded me a lot of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride I took at Disney World in Florida long ago. We boarded a submarine-like attraction that was full with just 15 people, dove only 2 meters, and saw a mechanical octopus that was broken and wouldn't move, with dads exclaiming "Waoooo!!" to their kids. It brought back that atmosphere.

I feel bad for my girlfriend...

ハワイ最後の日の思い出にと彼女とオシャレして船に乗り込んだものの、映画アダムスファミリーの子供向け夏合宿のごとく、やたら陽気一辺倒のマッスルクルーがマッスルスマイルで家族連れから老夫婦迄、アメリカ特有の大雑把なくくりで終始対応していた。食事は最悪で出さない方がまだましな揚げ物系ばかり。家族連れの13歳未満のお子様、老夫婦には丁度いいが、カップルにはお勧め出来ない。私の彼女は船酔いもあって気分悪く不機嫌になって喋らなくなってしまった。海カメが顔だしているのを皆まんぞくげに喜んでいたが、そんなに楽しいのだろうか？ワイキキビーチからわずかに遠くに行くだけの本ツアーは、昔フロリダのディズニーワールドで乗った海底2万マイルとよく似ている。15人も入ったら満員の潜水艦型アトラクションシップに乗込み、わずか2メートル潜水して、機械仕掛のしかも壊れて動かないタコがでてきて、お父さんが子供にWaoooo!!というやつ。あの雰囲気を思い出す。

彼女には悪いことしてしまった。。

We opted to have dinner as well as the show. We had a great dinner along with a pre-show of hula dancers. After dinner, we were escorted to the show room. These performers were the best. At one point, I had to remind myself that these were impersonators. We saw Elvis, who was one of the best that we had ever seen. Lady Gaga was fantastic and Michael Jackson would have given the real Michael Jackson a run for his money on the moon walk. If you are in Waikiki, don't miss this show. Well worth it!

We loved the sunset ride. The crew members and caption were professional and fun. The music took us back to our teenage years. Very fun and romantic. The views were awesome. God willing if we get a chance to come back to the island, we will do this again. A must do!

I expected a stand up paddle board group lesson but ended up with a solo surf lesson and had a great time. Chris was a good instructor and got me out into the water and riding the waves in hardly any time at all. He was also close by and attentive to my safety and form. It was great fun and I plan on doing it again the next time I'm in Hawaii....

It was an awesome experience for my children and myself....to see the turtles was incredible and I would not hesitate to recommend to other families:)

Both my child and I had a great time. As expected, the certificate was also a nice surprise for the kids. The underwater map was very good as well.

親子ともとても楽しめました、やはり、子どもにとっては認定証もうれしかったようです。
海底地図もとてもよかったです。

The 120 meters was higher than I expected, and the strong winds made it very frightening. I thought it might have been too much for my 6-year-old daughter, and I considered canceling the parasailing we had booked for the backup day. However, despite being scared, she surprisingly enjoyed it the second time during our stay.

思った以上に120メートルは高く、強風にあおられとても恐怖でした。
6際の娘にはやはりコクだったかと思いましたが、予備の日で申し込んでいたパラセイリングは、辞めようかと思いましたが、娘は怖がっていた割には、滞在期間中、二度目はあっけらかんと楽しんでいました。

Last year, I participated in the Mai Tai Catamaran cruise to see the Hilton fireworks on Friday, and it was so wonderful that I wanted to join again, but I couldn't be there on Friday night this year, so I joined this one instead.
Like last year's fireworks cruise, everyone was from the West, and my husband and I were the only Japanese.
All the explanations were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.
The fireworks from the catamaran were great, but the sunset was truly beautiful! ☆
I also got to see the amazing sight of a rainbow over Diamond Head ♪
Some other people's experiences mentioned light snacks included, but during our time, there were only unlimited drinks＾＾； I wonder if it varies by time??
The Mai Tai is easy to drink, like juice.
I hope to take some kind of cruise again the next time I go to Hawaii! ♪

昨年は、金曜日のヒルトンの花火を見るマイタイカタマランのクルーズに参加して、本当に素敵だったのでまた参加したかったのですが、今年は金曜夜にはいられなかったので、こちらに参加しました。
昨年の花火クルーズと同様、みんな欧米人の方で日本人は私達夫婦のみでした。
説明は全て英語ですが、特に問題ありません。
カタマラン船から見る花火も良かったですが、サンセットも本当にキレイでした☆
ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかったスゴイところも見られました♪
他の方の体験談に軽食付きと書かれていましたが、私達の時はドリンク飲み放題のみでした＾＾；　その時によるのでしょうか？？
マイタイはジュースのようで飲みやすいです。
また次回ハワイに行った際に、何らかのクルーズ船には乗りたいな～と思います♪

The shuttle service to the hotel was convenient.
There were three groups of Japanese and one group of Americans, and we chose the 120m option.
On the way up, there was a strong wind, and it felt like we were over 120m high. I considered the 150m option, but the 120m was plenty of fun.

The final splash in the sea was nice, as it only reached my shins.

I declined the $30 photo shoot and asked a Japanese person to take pictures with my digital camera.

The boat rocked quite a bit, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.

The boat staff were very friendly, which was reassuring.

ホテルへの送迎付きで便利でした。
日本人3組とアメリカ人1組で、私達は120mを選びました。
上に上がっていく途中で強風が吹き、120m以上上がった感覚になりました。150mと迷いましたが、120mで十分楽しかったです。

最後の海ポチャは、ひざ下までだったので、気持ちよかったです。

$30の写真撮影はお断りして、日本人の方にデジカメ撮影をお願いしました。

ボートが結構揺れたので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

ボートのスタッフは、かなりフレンドリーなので安心でした。

I flew in the blue sky with the blue sea below, and it was the best feeling. My husband, who has a fear of heights and was feeling anxious, exclaimed, "I want to do it again!" The staff were unique and explained things clearly, even with their broken Japanese, which was great. The wind felt nice, and I was very satisfied.

青い空に飛び、青い海を眼下に、最高の気分でした。
高所恐怖症で不安を抱えていた旦那が、「またやりたい！」と大絶賛。
スタッフの方もユニークで、片言の日本語ながらわかりやすく説明してくれたので、よかったです。
風が気持ちよく、大満足でした。

We had a really nice time! I got soaked with Waikiki ocean water, which was very refreshing. Worth the ride!

Please participate thinking of it as an attraction rather than a cocktail cruise. Once we set sail, they serve Mai Tais, and there is an all-you-can-drink option, but the conditions make it hard to enjoy. We continue to pass through areas with high waves, causing the boat to rock, making it difficult to drink or take photos. The splashes from the waves are intense, so it's not a good situation for enjoying drinks or capturing pictures. Also, not wearing a swimsuit was a mistake, as I couldn't fully enjoy the splashes of water. I highly recommend participants come in swimsuits. If you think of it as an attraction in swimwear, you can have a great time, but if you’re looking for a relaxing experience as a couple, it could turn out to be quite challenging, so please be careful.

まずカクテルクルーズと思わずにアトラクションと思って参加してください。
出航したらマイタイを振る舞ってくれ、その後も飲み放題ですが、とても飲める状況にはありません。波の高いポイントを通り続けるので、船が揺れてそれどころではありません。また波の飛沫が激しいので、お酒も写真も撮れる状況にありません。また水着じゃなかったのが失敗で、水飛沫も満喫できませんでした。参加する人は是非水着で参加してください。
水着でのアトラクションと思えば非常に満喫できますが、夫婦でまったりと考えたら大変なことになるのでお気をつけてください。

I participated with three friends, and we were debating who should go alone, but they let all three of us take off into the sky together☆

The view was amazing, and it felt really great☆彡
The usual "butt drop" was also very enjoyable(^^)

友人三人で参加して誰を一人にするか悩んでいたのですが、三人で一緒に空へ飛び立たせてくれました☆

眺めも最高でめっちゃ気持ち良かったです☆彡
お決まりのお尻ドボンも気持ち良かったです(^^)

The sunset was really beautiful, and it became a great memory. I got a little tipsy, so I could only drink one cocktail. If you're prone to getting drunk easily, it's definitely a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

夕陽がとってもきれいで、良い思い出になりました。ちょっと酔ってしまったのでカクテルが1杯しか飲めませんでした。酔いやすいかたは、やはり酔い止め必須かもです。

Guys were super friendly, the drinks were good and the view was awesome!!! It's worth the $

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I ended up acting at the last minute on the day of my visit, but I was able to easily find the place located between Halekulani and Sheraton. They serve all-you-can-drink cocktails that taste like pineapple, and you can also have beer and soft drinks like guava juice and cola. The pineapple cocktail, which was already salty, became extremely salty with the seawater added. I won't forget the beautiful view of the surfers up close and the rainbow that appeared!

ハワイが初めてで当日、ぎりぎりに行動してしまうことになってしまいましたがハレクラニとシェラトンの間のわかりやすい場所にありすぐに見つけることができました。
飲み放題でパイナップル味？のようなカクテルが配られますが、アルコールはビールやらソフトドリンクはグアバドリンクやコーラ等もいただけます。もとから塩辛いようなパイナップルカクテルが海水が入りすごくしょっぱかったです。本場のサーファーを近くでみられたのと虹がかかってすごくきれいだった景色は当分忘れられないかな！

What a great ride! Crew was great and music was awesome!! We had a blast!!

I was deeply moved. Both Gaga and Michael, as well as Elvis, had an impressive presence that felt "professional!" As someone from the bubble generation, I felt a sense of gratitude for the era I was born into, and I was truly touched. During my student days, I used to keep a Michael poster in my commuter pass... The entire show was great, especially the fire performance, which was breathtaking. There are also a few other points I want to share. First, the staff (floor attendants, sommeliers, and the behind-the-scenes crew) were wonderful. They were friendly, lively, and took pride in their work, which really drew me in. Additionally, the English spoken by the "Hawaiian Ebizo" who first guided us backstage was very easy to understand and great. The champagne and aperitifs in the green room were delicious, and the waiter was incredibly handsome, which was delightful. The course meal was also very satisfying. Being able to hear "Over the Rainbow" and "We Are the World" live towards the end of the show will become an unforgettable memory of my time in Hawaii. Thank you for a wonderful time.

感動しました。ガガさんもマイケルもエルヴィスも「プロ！！」という感じで迫力がありました。バブル世代としては「自分が生まれた時代に感謝！」という感じで、感動しきりでした。学生時代、マイケルのブロマイドを定期券に入れていましたから・・・。フラショーも含め(特に火を使ったショーは圧巻)ショー全体もちろん良かったのですが、その他にも是非お知らせしたいポイントがいくつか。まず働いていらっしゃる方々(フロア係やソムリエの方々、ショーの裏方の方々など)の人柄がとてもすばらしい。フレンドリーで生き生きとして仕事に誇りをもっていて、みな感じのいい方々でまずそこにとても惹かれました。あと、最初にバックステージをご案内くださった「ハワイの海老蔵さん」の英語がとても聞き取りやすくて良かったです。グリーンルームのシャンパンやアペリティフもおいしくて、ギャルソンさんもチョーイケメンでうっとりでした。コース料理も大満足。ショーの最後の方に｢Over the rainbow｣と「We are the World」を生で聴けたことは、ハワイでの忘れられない思い出になると思います。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
